Gumayusi sets a historic record in League of Legends
Up to now, HLE has had an almost perfect performance in LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2. Overall, everything is going well for HLE. For Gumayusi specifically, he is gradually regaining his top form and is ready to expand his champion pool even in crucial matches. With HLE qualifying for MSI 2026, Gumayusi has also set a series of records that likely no other AD can match.
Gumayusi officially becomes the AD with the most MSI appearances in League of Legends history, and the only AD to attend 5 consecutive MSI tournaments — a feat likely unmatched by any other AD. Players with longer careers and MSI experience, like Uzi, have retired, while Ruler has only attended twice consecutively if Gen.G overcomes T1 in the final qualifier match this year.
Additionally, Gumayusi holds the records for most MSI games played (87), most wins (52), most kills (388), most deaths (182), and most assists (473) among ADs. Naturally, these numbers will increase further in MSI 2026 as HLE will be competing.
Championship would complete the journey for Gumayusi and HLE
With these meaningful statistics and a major role in helping HLE secure the first seed at Road to MSI 2026, winning this tournament would be the crowning achievement for Gumayusi and his HLE teammates in the second half of the 2026 season. Of course, this is only possible if the players maintain their highest level of performance and full focus, as the upcoming opponents are extremely formidable.
